Property Description


0.12 Acres Lot
Built in 1925
For Sale - Active
Units n/a

Tucked away on a quiet one-way street in a close-knit neighborhood, this 1925 Craftsman-style home blends original charm with thoughtful updates. With 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, it's a great fit for first-time buyers, investors, or anyone looking for a home with potential. Much of the interior has been freshly painted, with new flooring added in key areas. The kitchen has been refreshed, and while some original woodwork remains, portions have been updated to suit a more modern feel. The full basement is clean and dry, offering space to add an egress window and easily convert the half bath. Outside, enjoy a low-maintenance backyard, shared driveway with friendly neighbors, and a one-stall garage. This one's easy to fall for -come take a look!
